2020 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · BD70 VHT

A pattern of recurring consumable wear and tyre degradation defines this vehicle's recent MOT history, though the most recent test on 24 November 2025 shows no recorded defects. While the 2025 result indicates a clean pass, the preceding years show a trend of advisories concerning tyre condition and brake pad thickness. Specifically, the 2024 test flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin, alongside advisories for cracking or perishing on both nearside and offside rear tyres. This suggests that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, it has reached points in its lifecycle where significant wear on friction materials and rubber components has been noted by testers. The recorded mileage of 50,857 miles against a 2020 registration indicates an average annual usage of approximately 8,476 miles. This level of mileage is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this moderate usage suggests that components such as the suspension bushes, drivetrain, and exhaust system have not been subjected to extreme high-mileage stress, but the frequency of the brake and tyre advisories aligns with the expected wear and tear for a vehicle covering these distances over a six-year period. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre integrity during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the 2024 advisories for thinning brake pads, it is essential to check for any signs of brake disc scoring or uneven wear. During the test drive, listen for any grinding noises during deceleration and feel for any pedal judder or pulsation, which could indicate warped discs or sticking calipers. The previous advisories regarding tyre cracking and perishing also necessitate a close visual inspection of the sidewalls and tread grooves on all four tyres to ensure no structural degradation remains, even if the 2025 test did not flag them. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the 2023 advisories regarding the rear registration plate and obstructed driver visibility should be verified to ensure all external lighting and registration markings are currently compliant and unobstructed. While no structural corrosion or suspension failures have been recorded, the history of tyre perishing can sometimes be associated with vehicles that spend periods stationary. Therefore, a thorough check of the suspension components for any signs of perished rubber or excessive movement during cornering is a prudent step to ensure the recurring consumable issues have been fully addressed.
